The Ultimate Guide to Candle Care: Make Your Candles Last Longer

Introduction

Candles create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, but did you know that proper care can make them last longer and burn more evenly? At Everything’s Rosie, we handpour our candles with love, and we want you to enjoy them to the fullest. Here’s how to care for your candles like a pro!

1. Trim the Wick for a Clean Burn

Keeping your wick trimmed to ¼ inch prevents soot buildup and ensures a steady flame. A long wick can cause excessive flickering and smoke, reducing the candle’s lifespan.

2. Let It Burn Evenly

For the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container—this prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn every time.

3. Avoid Drafty Areas

Burning your candle in a drafty space can cause uneven melting and excessive flickering. Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface for the best experience.

4. Store Your Candles Properly

Keep your candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and loss of fragrance.

5. Use a Candle Snuffer

Blowing out candles can create smoke and soot. Instead, use a candle snuffer to safely extinguish the flame and preserve the scent.

Conclusion

With these simple tips, you can enjoy your Everything’s Rosie candles for longer while keeping them looking and smelling amazing.
